I love my Lyngdorf 3400. The Lyngdorf 2170 is also an excellent integrated.
Best used integrated for under $5000
All
I am in the process of building a new dedicated stereo system and looking for both speakers and an integrated. For speakers as of right now I am leannng towards either used Rockport Atria (if I can find one) or Focal Sopra 2 (if no Atria comes around in 6 months).
I am am moving to NY in 6 weeks and therefore don’t really know what the room dimensions will be.
Sound I like :
1. A tad bit warm while still having a lot of punch (nothing muddled about it)
2. Vocals (Diana Krall, John Mayer etc) have a level of cleanliness to it
3. Guitar (Gipsy kings, Jesse cook) sound airy without being lean
4. It may be related to my first point above; forgiving of average source (eg high quality Spotify streaming, which isn’t that high quality after all )
Most of my source will be Tidal and strong preference for integrated amps with a built in DAC. Even better if the unit has a streamer as well. Otherwise I am planning to use Google chrome cast (is that a bad idea).
As of right now my list has Hegel h360, Lyngdorf and Moonaudio 340i.
I am planning to buy used. That means new prices probably could be as high as $10000.
It would be great to get some recommendations.
